Actually, on further inspection it looks like a blind person built mine. The sticker on the front is bubbling and the sides and back of the school house seem to be glued on unevenly with a terrible gap on one side. I'm now going to have to go through the hassle of sending it back. For $300 I paid for it, the workmanship is not very good, especially since they are supposed to be handmade.
Perhaps mine is the only one like this. Let's hope so, but in the meantime I am disappointed.

Thanks for sharing your review of the prop. It's very helpful to people making purchasing decisions.

I got a response from Wack-O-Magic. I am not the only one who has an issue with it's sturdiness. 30 were made and only two of us apparently haven't been able to solve the issues with it. The answer I got straight from Wack-O-Magic was that the school house is unsturdy because of the mirror on the back. It's a flaw he says he wasn't able to solve. He kindly offered to build legs for it, but that's something I can do. I sent him some pictures of the front and back being put on unevenly, and the gap in between one part of it. The pictures also show visible glue all along the edges. The bubbling is caused from the glue reacting with the deco.
I am going to keep it because from what I was told, the run on it is over. I am very dissapointed and have no problems admitting that. Taken from the add: "This is a sturdily constructed “packs small and plays big” outfit designed for the working performer, but like many of Wack-0 Innovative Magic’s pieces it is of exceptional quality, handmade in small numbers so you’ll be proud to display it as an outstanding collectable likely to gain in value over time." No, it's not of exceptional quality. No, it's not sturdy, and I don't think it will ever become a collectable to gain value over time. I will make due with it because I am desperate to make due with it. It was written into my anti-bullying school assembly program which I have contracts with several school divisions to start performing in Febuary. I have written it into all my Teacher Guides, student guides and flyers. It would be more costly to remove it from my program at this point.

I have used Giant & Dwarf for that age group. (might not work for the older crowd...based on you and your presentation)
I also use ventriloquist scripts, magic effects, and juggling with the older crowd...I have shared on this topic for the last 14 years at middle and high schools) Prior to that I worked with "larger kids", at a maximum security prison. With the right group and right person, one can use things usually targeted for much younger or older audiences. One of my favorite stories involves playing Simon (actually I called it Mr. Deutsch) Sez with inmates out in "the yard", behind the concrete walls and razor wire. Harris still too old to know it all
